Thirdly, It wasn't impossible to search through each floor one by one. But scouring it in one day was unrealistic if he were to do it by himself.
And besides, he had no other choice than to do this himself without alerting the organisation.
And so the only thing he could count on now was his luck.
After he finished the first dish, Lucien moved on to the next one.
And only when he had gotten a taste of it did he hear Charlotte's voice again.
"That is…" Charlotte said.
"Excuse me ma'am " But she was immediately interrupted by a waiter who called for her attention.
"What is it?" Charlotte replied with a frown on her face. As she wasn't expecting someone to interrupt their conversation.
"Mr Charles has been looking for you and has immediately requested your presence when you are found" The waiter said after giving a small bow.
"My brother! What does he want from me this time? Didn't I tell him to enjoy the rest of the party and not try to look for me?" Charlotte said with a sigh.
"I am sorry Mr Joseph. It seems that I won't be able to accompany you for the rest of your meal. But I will be back soon, just make sure you call the waiters and tell them to alert me immediately after you are done" She added as she looked at Lucien.
"Alright. After I am done, I will make sure to do so. Or is Miss Charlotte afraid that I might run away if she leaves" Lucien said as he looked at Charlotte with a serious expression on his face.
"No, of course not. I wouldn't dare think of such a thing. And even though I have already known you for such a short amount of time, I can already guess the kind of man you are" Charlotte replied with a smile as she saw Lucien's expression, which she interpreted as him being serious about the words he spoke.
"And I am sure that you aren't the kind of man who would run away after eating a lady's food" She added.
Lucien nodded his head before he went back to eating the various dishes on his table.
Charlotte nodded in response and left with a small chuckle as she saw Lucien moving back to enjoying his meal.
"Take me to where my brother is" Charlotte said as she turned to look at the waiter.
"Alright ma'am, this way" The waiter responded as he led the way.
...…......
"When did you say Miss Charlotte will be getting her? I thought that you have already sent somebody to get her" A man putting on a branded grey suit said as he looked at his friend standing opposite him.
"I have never seen you in such a hurry unless it has to do with anything revolving around my sister Philip. Why is that?" The man opposite him said as he cocked his eyebrows up with a bright smile on his lips.
"Cough!! Cough!!! Well, you of all people should know how passionate I am when it comes to your sister Charles"
Philip said as he shook his head in disapproval.
"Hahaha… Of course, I know. After all, isn't that the reason you asked for my help in setting up the special event of the day? Even I can't help but guess the look on my sister's face when you pose the question to her" Charles said with a burst of laughter escaping his lips.
"Shhhhh!!...Didn't I tell you to keep your voice down? This is supposed to be a secret, Charles" Philip said in a low voice as he hushed down Charles's voice.
"You know that I can't help it. You and my sister have known each other for a long time. And knowing the kind of person you are, I know that you will certainly treat her well" Charles said with a small chuckle.
"But one thing that I am afraid of is that you might spoil her a little too much considering the way you treat her" He added.
"Ahemm...Ahemm...Well, I will make sure that such a thing doesn't happen" Philip said while clearing his throat as though he had been caught red-handed.
"Don't worry about it. Besides, it's good that you already have such thoughts. Because at least, I know that my sister is in good hands" Charles replied.
But he paused after spotting a familiar person in the crowd calmly approaching them.
Knowing who it was, he continued saying "Oh!! And here comes the main subject of our conversation. As dazzling as the glamorous moon in the bright night sky".
"And what are you guys talking about? I can hear your voice from a mile away brother".
"It's nothing serious. Why don't you join us Charlotte? Philip here has a lot of interesting stories to tell" Charles said as he looked at his sister.
"How are you doing Miss Charlotte? It's been a while since we last talked like this" Philip said as he took the initiative to speak.
"Yeah. The last time we spoke was over the telephone. And to be honest you never told me when you were coming back if not I might have prepared a welcoming party for you?" Charlotte responded as she looked at her long time friend.
"You don't have to worry about preparing a welcome party for me, Miss Charlotte. But I have already guessed that you would do such a thing so I decided to surprise you at your 25th birthday party" Philip said as a small laugh escaped his lips.
"Alright. If you say so" Charlotte said as she removed her gaze from Philip and looked at Charles.
"So why did you call for me brother? Did something happen?" She added.
Charles shook his head as a small smile laced his lips saying "I just wanted to show you Philip who had just returned from Britain, since he told me that he had a very special gift for you".
